The correct answer would be, Jeremy rides at a greater speed than Kevin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy rides at a rate of 15 miles per hour

Kevin rides at a rate given in the table

Let Y be the distance traveled by Jeremy

And X be the number of hours

Then for Jeremy:

y/x = 15/1

=> y= 15 x

For Kevin:  

(46-23)/(4-2)

= 23/2

= 11.5

So for Kevin, Y = 11.5 x

So when Jeremy's and Kevin's rates are compared,

15 > 11.5

which means Jeremy rides at a greater speed.

Answer:

m\angle STR=24^o

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

m\angle STQ=m\angle STR+m\angle RTQ ---> by addition angle postulate

we have

m\angle STQ=48^o ----> given problem

m\angle STR=m\angle RTQ ----> given problem

substitute in the expression above

48^o=2m\angle STR

Divide by 2 both sides

m\angle STR=24^o

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The center/ mean will almost be equal, and the variability of simulation B will be higher than the variability of simulation A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Normally, a distribution sample is mostly affected by sample size.

As a rule, sampling error decreases by half by increasing the  sample size four times.

In this case, B sample is 2 times higher the A sample size.

Now, the Mean sampling error is affected and is not higher for A.

But it's sample is huge for this, Thus, they are almost equal

Variability of simulation decreases with increase in number of trials. A has less variability.

With increase number of trials, variability of simulation decreases, so A has less variability.

Ted is a long distance driver. It took him 30 min longer to drive 275km on the Trans-Canada highway west of Swift Current, Saska
IRISSAK [1]

Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr


275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2



275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x



550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x



x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0


( x -60) ( x+100) = 0


x = 60


ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr


CHECK


300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours
